I assume many who work at OpenAI have seen Pantheon. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pantheon_(TV_series) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pantheon_(TV_series)

That was my first thought as well. Sounds like a cool name for a black site.

  Huh. I guess I'm old now, but my first thought was obviously the interstellar transportation device with a big honkin' rotary dial to select your destination. ᐰ

      Star riddle. (Stargåte)
  - Cthulhu_ 1y ago
    A serpent guard, a Horus guard and a Setesh guard meet on a neutral planet. It is a tense moment. The serpent guard's eyes glow. The Horus guard's beak glistens. The Setesh guard's nose drips.

This show had an interesting concept for copying a brain (lasering a brain off layer by layer like reverse 3D printing)

I assume people at OpenAI take inspiration from dystopian SciFi (like 'Her')
- derektank 1y ago
  I wouldn't characterize "Her" as dystopian at all. The future shown in the film is, quite frankly, probably in the top quintile of outcomes we can hope for when it comes to AI. The only truly horrifying thing it depicts is the return of high waisted pants in men's fashion
- Cthulhu_ 1y ago
  I wouldn't call Her dystopian per se, as it's more an individual story instead of applying to a society as a whole. Dunno what a sequel would look like though. And also, it's no longer science fiction; there's people having relationships with chatbots which can easily be made to do voice transcription / synthesis, and r/characterai melts down whenever they have an outage.

  This isn't limited to OpenAI, Silicon Valley as a whole behaves like that (see Zuck wanting to make the metaverse a reality)
